The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's Trust Deed, the Charities Act 2011 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)" (effective 1 January 2019). ## Objectives and activities The Trustees of The Bedgebury Foundation Trustee Company agreed the following objects for The Bedgebury Foundation with the Charities Commission in the scheme dated 31 August 2007. The Charity is for the benefit of the public to advance education and training in accordance with the principles and practices of the Church of England through any or all of the following means: - Giving grants, bursaries or other payments to young people under the age of 25 (or to educational institutions attended by such beneficiaries) to enable them to continue to undertake a course of study or training; or to enable them to travel abroad to pursue their education. -In providing financial or other assistance to individuals to assist their training as teachers; -(i) the provision and (ii) operation of a day and/or boarding school. The principal activity of the the charity in the year under review was that of making grants for the benefit of young people. The trustee has paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charities Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake. ## Achievements and performance ## Grant awards The Trustee Board decided that the charity will continue to operate the following grant programmes in Kent and East Sussex throughout the year: - Programme for individuals offering awards for Additional Educational Needs, Vocational Education and Training. : -Teachers and Trainers Programme offering support towards the costs of training to support young people with SpLD or other educational needs. - Inspiring young minds for schools targeted at young people's recovery from pandemic related school closures both academically and emotionally. During the year the programmes were communicated in the local area through the website, inclusion in funding newsletters, and letters to primary schools, senior schools and colleges of further education. The main gateway to the charity was via the website and the online grant management system hosted by Flexi Grant. In July 2021 a new website was launched to simplify this gateway and to help answer questions related to the application process. All grant applications are made on line by individuals, their carers or professionals. There were 123 new grants awarded during the year (2020: 78) comprising 103 to individuals and 20 to organisations totalling £142,318 (2020: £126,080) over a maximum of two years. Grants withdrawn or refused amounted to £22,401 (2020: £29,716) including ENil (2020: £10,000) provided for the NEETS project which the Trustee decided to discontinue going forward. The balance primarily arises when grant holders decide they no longer require a grant often in the last few months of support or where statutory agencies step in to help. Payments of grants awarded in this year totalled £110,008 (2020: £84,657). The increase of grant payments was primarily due to additional grants being requested and awarded with the easing of lockdown measures during the pandemic. a ## THE BEDGEBURY FOUNDATION ## TRUSTEE'S REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021 During the year covered by this audit report the Foundation had two investment portfolios managed by Brewin Dolphin on behalf of the Trustee with oversight from the Strategic Investment Team. The Permanent Endowment portfolio was managed on a medium risk basis and the Unrestricted portfolio on a lower risk basis. The objectives during the year were to protect the value of the Permanent Endowment and to provide a revenue stream to fund grant awards and the running costs of the charity. The capital value of the medium risk portfolio increased through the year. By the financial year end there was an overall upward revaluation of 18.3% (2020: downward 2.77%) net of management charges on the opening value. This portfolio achieved an income level of 3.1% (2020: 2.82%) on the value at the start of the year. The total return net of fees on the lower risk portfolio was 12.9% (2020: 1%) reflecting the continued volativity of the global markets. ## Investment Policy and Performance The Charity has the power to invest in any way the Trustee sees fit. The permanent endowment is invested in a medium risk portfolio which has due regard to its status as a charity and its connections with the Church of England. In liaison with Brewin Dolphin, the Trustee has identified several ethical exclusions along with positive inclusions for organisations that invest in vocational training. ## Other Key Policies The Trustee has policies regarding Equal Opportunities and Safeguarding. ## Risk Management The Trustee has a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. An extensive review of the risk register took place during the year with high risks and associated mitigating actions tabled at each board meeting. ## General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) The privacy statement is kept up to date and is available to all grant applicants and others whose data is held by the charity. Legal advice has previously been sought to establish retention periods for historical schoo! records. -2- ## THE BEDGEBURY FOUNDATION TRUSTEE'S REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021 ## Financial review The overall results of the charity's financial statement activities are shown on page 8. Income declined to £141,948 (2020: £274,161). The comparative period included a one off settlement of £138,751. The cost of providing charitable activities increased to £154,160 this year (2020: £125,624) with a net £23,553 increase awarded in grants (2020: decrease of £14,270). Unrestricted reserves as at 31 August 2021 amounted to Nil (2020: £516,617). With the adoption of the Total Return Approach, the reserves of £552,359 have been transferred to the appropriate endowment fund. ## Total Return Accounting In June 2021, the Trustee resolved to adopt total return accounting as from 31 August 2021. The Trustee considered the earliest date for a reliable value of the endowment was 1 September 2010, the rationale being this was after the sale of the fixed assets transferred from Bedgebury School giving certainty to their value. The endowment at this date was valued at £3,516,723 and this value was adjusted for subsequent spend, relating to the old school, most notably the crystallisation of a Pension Trust pension liability in 2012 and 2013. The value of the endowment is preserved by inflating using the consumer price index. This calculation results in an initial Trust For Investment of £3,745,987 as at 31 August 2021. The net value of all assets at 31 August 2021 was £5,670,779. Therefore, the adoption of total return accounting creates an Unapplied Total Return of £1,908,301. These figures are shown in the financial statements in note 14. Total return accounting permits the charity to allocate from the Unapplied Total Return to unrestricted funds such sums as the Trustee thinks appropriate in furtherance of its work. In making these transfers the charity will seek both to be even-handed as between current and future beneficiaries and to maintain the balance of the Unapplied Total Return at an appropriate level considering the volatility of investment markets. The level of the initial Unapplied Total Return makes clear that there is scope for the charity to act prudently to increase its current level of grant awards. Accordingly, the charity intends to award grants at a similar level in the year to 31 August 2022 and thereafter to increase the level of grants which it awards. A grant strategy will be developed during early 2022 which is likely to change the nature and size of future grants. The general funds representing net income earned but not awarded as grants no longer need to be separately identified and thus have been credited to unapplied total return funds. The Trustee will maintain the real value of the trust for investment going forward and therefore, a transfer from the unapplied total return will be made at each future year end in line with the increase in the consumer price index during the year. The Foundation's investments are managed by Brewin Dolphin on behalf of the Trustee with oversight from the Strategic Investment Team. The objectives during the year was to protect the value of the permanent endowment and to provide a revenue stream to fund grant awards and the running of the charity. The adoption of the total return approach will enable Brewin Dolphin to be more flexible in the choice of investments not needing to be governed by income objectives. A new statement of investment policy is being developed in 2022. It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month's expenditure. The Trustee considers that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity's current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year. ae ae ## THE BEDGEBURY FOUNDATION TRUSTEE'S REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021 ## Plans for future periods The Trustee is currently working on a strategic spending plan for 2022-2027 which is likely to result in a move away from individual grants to increased grants to institutions. Having adopted the total return approach, the Trustee has decided that the unapplied total return fund should not drop below 12 months operating costs plus 10% of the value of the Trust for investment. ## PUBLIC BENEFIT STATEMENT The Charity awards grants to any member of the public who fits its objects and the programme criteria set by the Trustee. The programmes outlined above are not restricted to any specific section of the public. The Trustee has had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. ## Structure, governance and management The charity is controlled by a scheme approved by the Charities Commission and dated 31 August 2007.

The Trustee's report was approved by the Trustee. ## R Hardingham ## Chairman Date 15 June 2022 -5- ## THE BEDGEBURY FOUNDATION ## INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEE OF THE BEDGEBURY FOUNDATION ## Opinion We have audited the financial statements of The Bedgebury Foundation (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 August 2021 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). ## In our opinion, the financial statements: - give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 31 August 2021 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended; - - have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and - have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011. ## Basis for opinion We have been appointed as auditor under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under the Act. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. ## Conclusions relating to going concern We are responsible for concluding on the appropriateness of the Trustee's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify the auditor's opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charity to cease to continue as a going concern. In our evaluation of the Trustee's conclusions, we considered the inherent risks associated with the charity's business model including effects arising from macro-economic uncertainties such as Brexit and Covid-19, we assessed and challenged the reasonableness of estimates made by the Trustee and the related disclosures and analysed how those risks might affect the charity's financial resources or ability to continue operations over the going concern period. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustee's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. The responsibilities of the Trustee with respect to going concern are described in the Responsibilities of Trustees for the financial statements’ section of this report. eG ## THE BEDGEBURY FOUNDATION ## INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEE OF THE BEDGEBURY FOUNDATION ## Other information The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The Trustee is responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. ## We have nothing to report in this regard. ## Matters on which we are required to report by exception We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion: - the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the Trustee's report; or - sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or - the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or - ~ we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. ## Responsibilities of Trustee As explained more fully in the statement of Trustee's responsibilities, the Trustee is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustee determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the Trustee is responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustee either intend to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https:// www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report. 7. ## THE BEDGEBURY FOUNDATION INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEE OF THE BEDGEBURY FOUNDATION Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements in the financial statements may not be detected, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with ISAs (UK). The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: - We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the charity, and the sector in which they operate and determined which may influence the financial statements. The charity is subject to many laws and regulations where the consequences of non-compliance could have a materia! effect on amounts or disclosures in the financial statements. - We identified the following laws and regulations as the most likely to have a material effect if non-compliance were to occur: financial reporting legislation Charities SORP and UK GAAP (FRS102), data protection and bribery and corruption practices. - We understood how the charity is complying with those legal and regulatory frameworks by making enquiries of management and those charged with governance. We corroborated enquiries through a review of the minutes of meeting of the trustee and correspondence. -We assessed the susceptibility of the charity's financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur by meeting with management to understand where management considered there was a susceptibility to fraud. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included: - evaluation of the processes and controls established to address the risks related to irregularities and fraud; - - challenge of the assumptions and judgements made by management in its significant accounting estimates; - testing manual journal entries relating to management estimates and entries determined to be large or relating to unusual transactions; - identifying and testing related party transactions; - We communicate relevant laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit. The engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence and capabilities to identify or recognise non-compliance with laws and regulations. - We did not identify any matters relating to non-compliance with laws and regulation or relating to fraud. ## Use of our report This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. ## NICHOLAS GOWER-SMITH FCA (Senior Statutory Auditor) for and on behalf of Norman Cox & Ashby Chartered Accountants and Statutory Auditor Grosvenor Lodge 72 Grosvenor Road Tunbridge Wells Kent TN1 2AZ ## 16 June 2022 Norman Cox & Ashby is eligible for appointment as auditor of the charity by virtue of its eligibility for appointment as auditor of a company under section 1212 of the Companies Act 2006. -8- **----- Start of picture text -----**

Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities. - 1.8 Financial instruments - The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. -13- ## THE BEDGEBURY FOUNDATION ## NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021 ## 2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the Trustee is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. ## 3 investments ||Unrestricted|Restricted|Total|Unrestricted|Restricted|Total| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| ||funds|funds||funds|funds|| ||2021|2021|2021|2020|2020|2020| ||£|£|£|2|E|£| |Investment income|141,945|-|441,945|274,081|-|274,081| |Interest receivable|-|3|3|-|80|80| ||141,945|3|141,948|274,081|80|274,161| |Analysis of Expenditure||||||| ||||Acivities|Support|Total|Total| ||||undertaken|costs||| ||||directly|||| ||||2021|2021|2021|2020| ||||£|£|£|£| |Expenditureon raisingfunds|funds||39,625|5,132|44,757|34,572| |Grant making|||128,488|16,686|145,174|119,596| |Old school|||2,388|3,853|6,241|6,028| |Total|||170,501|25,671|496,172|160,196| |Analysis ofactivities:||Raising|Grant|Old||| |||Funds|Making|School||| |Newgrants awarded||-|119,917|-|119,917|96,364| |Software licences||-|3,923|-|3,923|3,797| |Insurance||-|1,656|504|2,160|1,879| |Rent and other costs||-|2,992|1,884|4,876|2,875| |Investment fees||39,625|-|-|39,625|29,395| |Total||39,625|128,488|2,388|170,501|134,310| ## 4 __ Analysis of Expenditure -14- ## THE BEDGEBURY FOUNDATION ## NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021 ## 4 Analysis of Expenditure |Analysis of ExpenditureExpenditure|||||(Continued)| |---|---|---|---|---|---| |Analysis ofsupport costs:|||||| |Auditand legal fees|870|2,829|653|4352|4,000| |Finance|21|68|16|105|123| |Office and staffcosts|4,241|13,789|3,184|21214|21,763| |Total|5,132|16,686|3,853|25,671|25,886| ## 5 Grants payable ## GRANT MOVEMENT RECONCILIATION ||Programme
